I've been wanting to build a light box so I had to jump on this band wagon. I had the box. I had the tracing paper. I did not have the poster board. I simply made a mad dash over to Michaels and bought some. (San Diego doesn't have a Hobby Lobby. I'm terribly jealous of all of you who are near one.) I think I waited until too late in the day to do this. My lighting sucked. I don't have enough artificial lights to work with. I may have cheated on this challenge. Here's what I did...I set up my light box, set up my object in the box, set up the camera on a tripod in front of the box then turned off all the lights in the room. Then I use a led flashlight turned up to the ceiling(the camera has to have some type of light to draw from), then I set my shutter to bulb and went from there. Most of the pics came out great at about the 30 second mark. I've used this technique before(without a box). It's great for having no shadows as there is no direct light on the object.

If that's cheating the assignment then my apologies!

Oh wow I love the flower shot! I'm not sure if that was cheating but what ever you did worked.
These are fantastic - I really love the first one. You rocked it out!
I don't think it's cheating. ;) I love the last shot of the dolls, how they are scattered everywhere.
What a great idea using the bulb - I must try that. I haven't had good light for the past few shoots with my lightbox and this could be a great option for better light until I can get it sorted. Love these shots.
